Renekton	Very Hard	280	49%	-310	-473	This is a Renekton-favored matchup. The key is to survive his trades and play around his cooldowns. Start with W at level 1 and be aggressive since he has no fury.

Mordekaiser	Even	278	52%	+36	+294	This is a skill matchup. Fight inside your minion wave to reduce his Q damage. Be aggressive early and use E to punish his attempts to CS. Hold onto your W until you can land an E stun to guarantee the true damage. A crucial part of this matchup is using your R to become unstoppable and CANCEL HIS ULTIMATE. The timing is key—watch his hand animation and listen for the sound cue. Once you have this down, you can kill him inside his Death Realm. In teamfights, you can R him into his backline, but if he ults you, make sure to use your E before W to land the true damage.

Garen	Not Favored	254	49%	+209	-311	You win early game but get outscaled later on in the isolated 1v1. However in teamfights you can just ult the garen into their team for an easy engage. You need to focus on fighting the garen strategically so you can look for a dive, all-in, or freeze in the early game. E start and zone him from the first wave melee xp. You can E into W to usually guarentee it hits. Don't get too greedy with your W shield since if he sliences you he can burst you with his ult.

Malphite	Even	250	46%	+84	+554	For a safe lane, take Grasp of the Undying; otherwise, Conqueror is a solid choice. You have a window to kill him before he can back for Bramble Vest. Once he has Bramble, he wins the 1v1. At that point, focus on building a CS lead and playing for teamfights, or build Hullbreaker to split-push effectively while he can't stop you.
